Co.C, 4th Texas Brigade

Co.C, 4th Texas Brigade

I HAVE FOUND SEVERAL PEOPLE AS WELL AS MY GRANDFATHER IN THIS CIVIL WAR UNIT. BUT I CANNOT FIND HIM OR THE OTHER PEOPLE ON THE ROSTERS. WAS THIS LIKE NATIONAL GUARD UNIT. I DON'T BELIEVE THIS WAS THE 4TH INFCO.C, OR THE 4TH INF. (ST TROOPS). SOME LIST THE 4TH BRIGADE AS HOOD UNIT. BUT HOOD'S UNIT WAS THE 4TH INF. THE PEOPLE I HAVE FOUND IN THE 4TH BRIGADE ARE NOT ON ROSTERS BUT ON TOMBSTONES THEY ARE HENRY A. HARRIS, DANIEL M. SHORT, MARTIN L. SHOFNER,J.K. WILLIAMS. I ALSO HAVE READ THAT EACH NUMBER LIKE THE 4TH WAS GIVEN TO DIFFERENT COUNTIES. DID THESE PEOPLE EVER PUT ON A UNIFORM. THE 4TH INF WAS AT GETTYSBURG WITH HOOD. THE ALSO HAD A LAW SUIT ABOUT STATE TROOPS FIGHTING OUTSIDE OF TEXAS. MY GRANDFATHER WAS SAMUEL BUCKNER. IF YOU COULD EXPLAIN THIS E-MAIL TBACKPORCH@AOL.COM CHARLES THOMAS. THANKS
